Learn history by podcast, one lesson a morning

Tailor can teach as well as report. Name a period, a war, a dynasty or a question, and it plans a course of twelve to twenty lessons that build on each other.

Describe your show

What Tailor drafts

From that one sentence. Change any of it.

Each lesson is written as an expert would teach it, checked against encyclopedias, museums and university pages, and picks up where the last one left off. When the course is done, the show keeps exploring the same subject from new angles.

Make it yours

  • A course or explorations

    A course has an arc and an end; explorations take a new angle on the subject every day.

  • Start where you are

    Say you are new to it, or that you know the basics, and the course is planned for that.

  • Any subject

    History, cooking, woodworking, astronomy, wine: anything with something to learn.
